10 Best Braided Hairstyles

Thick side braid

Kristen Stewart's side braid looks super cute twisted up into a bun. Plus, the loose pieces of hair framing her face soften the style even more, making it look super sweet. Here's how to get the look:

1. Right out of the shower, rub texturizing mouse through your hair and blow dry roughly.
2. Part your hair into a deep side part. Starting above one ear, make a French braid going across your hairline to the other ear. Continue the braid all the way back behind your head. Secure it down with bobby pins.
3. Gather up the rest of your hair into a loose bun at the nape of your neck, and secure it with an elastic.
4. Use your fingers to tug your braid a bit to loosen it for an undone look. Pull out some pieces of hair around your face and curl them with a curling iron.
